Another version of Snickers® pie uses additional items for an entire different result. Make the pie this way, and the result is more of a decadent ice cream pie. First, heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Then, mix and press into a pie plate the following: 2 cups (500 ml) of crushed Oreo® cookies, ½ cup (125 ml) of chopped dry roasted peanuts, and ¼ cup (60 ml) of melted butter. Bake the ingredients for about 10 minutes; this will make the pie shell. As it is cooling, chop 8 Snickers® bars into bite size pieces and fold it into 2 quarts (1.89 l) of softened ice cream. Next, spoon the ice cream mixture into the pie shell. Lastly, drizzle ¼ cup (60 ml) of caramel sauce and ¼ cup (60 ml) of chocolate sauce over the top. Freeze the pie for about four hours.

All of these are great recipes.But always remember to spread some hot fudge sauce on the bottom of the crust. Yum, yum.

Many people prefer a pie crust or graham cracker crust, but I love the chocolate cookie crust for this kind of pie -- and yes, still with the hot fudge on the bottom.

And really, where would the refrigerated dessert market be without Cool Whip? I guess it was just fortuitous that the advent of refrigerators in every home should coincide with the invention of Cool Whip.

Snickers pie is the cousin of the Milky Way pie and the mudslide pie – all of which are decadent, fat-laden, highly caloric desserts that you should probably only eat about once a year.
